MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 15,2011
TO: Financial Planning and Analysis Committee
FROM: Sue Iverson, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
Kyle Howard, Finance Analyst
SUBJECT: Meeting agenda
• Discussion on Developing a TIF policy
One of the items on the 2010 work plan was:
To develop a T1F policy as to what maximum percentage of the City should be in a T1F district.
As we have potential projects that may request TIF assistant, the council would like the committee to
explore and start working on this policy. This will ultimately be done with the EDC, the group has
broken into subcommittees to work on this project and this will be extended into 2011.
Bob Streetar, Community Development Director at Oakdale, will be our speaker to answer any questions
that the group may have about his experiences with TIF. Bob has worked in the communities of
Minnetonka, Columbia Heights, and Oakdale. Our own Community Development Director, Jill
Hutmacher, will also be present to answer questions from her experiences in Dakota County and
Bloomington.
We have scheduled a session with the City Council at the April Worksession on April 18, 2011 at 6:00
p.m. You will still have your April meeting on April 12th to finalize any items before the worksession
with the City Council.
Some additional information that was gathered by Jim Ostlund from a study in Roseville has also been
included for informational purposes as it has been referred to at past meetings.
